[New-Poetry] The List of Movies with Poetry

[Skip Fox]

Sorry if this was already mentioned (I looked, but . . .) Dead Man by
Jarmusch with Johnny Dep who plays a spud from the East called William
Blake.  William knows nothing of his namesake but runs to an Indian
("Nobody," nod to Pound?) who knows the poetry of Blake and recites it
throughout the film. The CD (A Neil Young soundtrack, a study in deferral,
contains even more Blake, ready by Nobody and Dep.)

 

All set in the west about the 1870s. Lovely black and white and funny as
hell.)
